Flavien Prat Sets Stakes Win Record

Flavien Prat set a new record for stakes victories in a single season, earning his 80th win while guiding Godolphin's Poster to a narrow victory in the $250,000 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct. This victory not only marked Poster’s first win on dirt but also secured him 10 qualifying points for the 2025 Kentucky Derby. Prat's achievement surpassed the previous record of 79 stakes wins held by Irad Ortiz Jr. and tied Hall of Famer Jerry Bailey's record of 55 graded stakes wins in a season. Trainer Eoin Harty praised Prat's skillful ride, allowing Poster to maintain his perfect record of three wins in three starts. Meanwhile, Locked's recent success in the Grade 2 Cigar Mile Handicap has positioned him as a top contender for upcoming prestigious races, showcasing his impressive comeback from a knee injury that sidelined him for nearly a year.
